Service was easy to get in, prices are a little high and the work promised was not completely finished. I had requested for my turn signal to be fixed when I was driving home it acts like it was shorting out, I did mention it to them in an email but never received a reply. I also had a gift certificate which was said to be honored when I paid my bill and was not.

First time here to get an oil change and some car issues looked at — I chose this spot because I’ve had some bad experiences with other automotive places in the past, and my boyfriend loves this place and recommended it to me. Oscar was so awesome! First off, they send pictures of their inspection and Oscar took the time to explain on the phone what was going on with me car before giving me a quote. He was very friendly and helpful. Upon pickup of my car he greeted me by name and answered all of my questions and gave me great advice for car care. They left a nice little goodie bag in the car

Had an overheating issue so I brought my car to L&R to diagnose and fix and the guys ended up finding my overheating issue but another issue that would have caused irreparable damage. Appreciate you guys and I will definitely be bring my car back to yous in the future. Great prices too.

We were planning to have them do repairs to our vehicle due to what we thought were good reviews. BEWARE. After we had the vehicle towed there we learned that we had to go elsewhere to be covered by our insurance. My wife immediately went there to have the car towed to another facility. This place was extremely rude to my wife and told her she either needed to let them work on it or have the car removed by Noon. Highly unacceptable business practice. I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR SERVICE.

Having work done on you vehicle is always a serious matter.
Having researched on line to see local shops in my area, I started following L&R Automotive reviews and I see an honest business doing the right work for the customers for the right price.
I have taken one of my vehicles to them and am very pleased with the work that I had done. It was a lot of work, (I thought) but they were very swift and precise in their evaluation of what needed to be done to fix my vehicle. Then they fixed it very quickly.
Dealing mainly with Oscar, it was a very good experience and I highly recommend L&R Automotive

L&R is the best. They are great mechanics and "very honest." On several occasions I have received some questionable repair estimates from the dealer. When I took my cars to L&R, the actual repairs needed were a fraction of what the dealer wanted to do.

Just an FYI for 80 Series Land Cruiser owners..

L&R no longer works on our Land Cruisers. I was told by Oscar to schedule an appointment for a basic oil change, but then was later told they no longer do work on our vehicles.

Always hesitant to try a new auto shop, especially last minute, but I am VERY happy I found L&R auto before taking my car across country. They were EXTREMELY fair and honest, with quality service. I will be recommending them to everyone in the Arvada/Denver area. Especially to my fellow ladies (and men!) who have had bad auto experiences before with unfair pricing, this is a great place for you and to feel that you’re getting fair prices and service.

L&R Automotive is by far one of the top mechanics I've ever had. The customer service is wonderful and the quality of work they do is even better! It's hard to find a great shop with good prices, but L&R is just that! If you need any work done on your vehicle, look no further! Nothing better than being able to trust their team and skills!!

Oscar was very friendly and helpful when I described my issues with my 2012 Xterra. He got my vehicle right in and had a reasonable estimate to me within a few hours and I was able to get the work done that day! Not only was the work done quickly but they washed my truck as well! Absolutely recommend these guys for any automotive work you need!!

My neighbor in Leyden Rock recommended this shop because I was tired of the poor service and work at the chain shops.
I scheduled with Oscar who has mad phone skills and demeanor - was he a receptionist in another life?
He, and the staff, were just as cool in person and even washed my car after servicing it on my first (of what will become MANY) visits there.
I appreciate that they give back to the community, too, facilitating toy drives for a couple of charities this holiday season - and offering customers a credit towards future service in exchange for dropping off a new toy.
All around - GREAT

I live in Arvada and needed a check up for my used car before a long road trip. I found L & R here on Yelp and decided to go to them after reading reviews, and because they were so close to home. The process was super easy and great! I dropped my car off and within a couple hours they had a diagnostic for me in the form of a webpage that showed what needed work. It was super helpful to see what needed the most work vs. what could wait. I asked for some quotes and got some things fixed right then and there. I had my car back by the end of the day! The people working here are very friendly and

Great shop with a great staff, took the car because I was leaking coolant and car was over heating. The way they do the diagnostic is cool. Once they find the issue they messaged me the computer test results as well as a picture of where the leak was coming from.
Aside from the awesome work, I live close to the shop and appreciated them giving me a ride home while they worked on my car

Oh my goodness how can I begin to express how great this place is. David went beyond and was able to help me with my daughters car, a c-max, that needs a full transmission replacement. Money is tight right now so this was the last thing I needed but David and Mike (the owner) went out of their way to talk with Ford and get it taken care of by Ford!! I have used these guys for the last three years and trust them fully to give me the best advice and service!

Recently did a lift install on my own Jeep. Wanted a professional to check my work, do an alignment and re-run my brake lines. L & R was able to get me in the next day at a very reasonable price, and had the work finished ahead of schedule. Most importantly, the guys at L & R were easy going and willing to talk me through all of the questions I had. Never felt rushed and am so thankful to have found an honest shop to work on my Jeep.

I called the shop to get a quote on a timing belt replacement four months ago and they quoted me $400. Timing belt recently went out this week and I had it towed to L&R on a weekend. I wanted to verify the verbal quote of $400 but they were closed on Saturday. I had it towed to L&R on Saturday and called back on Monday. The guy I spoke to initially quoted me $500 and when I informed him that I had the vehicle towed there, he raised it $1000. I informed him I would go somewhere else. I later got a call from Mike the owner who was quite rude and threatening to add a storage fee to the vehicle

I typically do my own auto work but when I need a pro, I trust the guys at L&R with my F150. They are Ford specialists and knew the detailed things about my truck that the average person would not. I also like how they texted me the report on what my truck needed.

Vic was very informative the moment I called in asking for a quote. My Check Engine Light was on and he told me the cost and what I could expect. As soon as the car was diagnosed he gave me the cost and emailed it so I could take a look. The car was done that day and even tho I was not able to pick up that car that day, he held it over the weekend. He was very honest and up front and didn't try to oversell anything. I appreciate a honest mechanic and would recommend this place to anyone with car concerns.

I took my vehicle to L&R after getting an outrageous quote from a dealership. Mike at L&R gave me an honest assessment of what was wrong and a very fair price. The work was completed timely. I will not take my cars anywhere else.

I originally had my breaks checked in tiresplus, and they quoted myself an enormous amount of work that needs to be done on my car and, of course, it came with the money that was over $600. It also took precisely three hours simply to get an oil change and the breaks check. I went to L & R Automotive and they visibly showed myself the condition of my break pads and rotors. It turned out to be the opposite. I only needed my rear break pads replaced, and it only took about an hour to do the job. L & R is a very reliable and credible shop to take your car to. Will definitely be going there

Vic of L & R spent hours working on my car and driving it around. He didn't find much, other than a few spots of built up oil and dirt that could have been causing my problems, so he decided to charge me for less than an hour of labor. I left the car with them for several days and rented a car - Mark and Vic were both extremely helpful in arranging that, as well as explaining what they were finding that looked good and not so good. As someone who doesn't live in the Denver area and just stumbled on this shop when my car was having problems, I was grateful to find such an honest and
